Comments:

<0> that bitch
<1> ah nm
<2> I know, this is gonna sound excedingly noobish, but i need help installing a mouse ._.
<3> jetscreamer: probably its owner?
<4> !beer abrotman
<3> NinjaVee: you newb!
<5> ciao
<6> abrotman: not doing anything in a ssh kicked me off during a software install, how can i get it out of /var/cache/apt/archives/lock ?
<7> !beer dondelcaro
<2> abrotman: Nintendo Intellimouse with USB Bluetooth Transceiver
<8> Dwonis: I'm reading more on Ext3. I can see what you mean by overwriting with zeros. Apparently that's what Ext3 does on delete.
<9> how do you specify TCPDUMP to capture in promiscuous mode on a wireless interface? by default its not being set into promiscious mode by tcpdump
<10> abrotman: thanks, looks like the bind/named is a false pos of chkrootkit. not sure of the /sbin/init thing yet.
<3> daeos: rm ?



<11> yay dpkg woke up
<12> *cheers dondecarlo for fixing dpkg!
<6> so it is a file then?
<3> should be
<7> jilocasin: I doubt it overwrites the entire file contents with zeros by default
<7> jilocasin: most likely, it's some part of the metadata
<2> can anyone help me install a Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse with USB Transciver?
<8> Dwonis: how do I tell, in Debian, what type of Ext3 I am running?
<11> if i have alsa working, should i be able to see it as a process running?
<13> abrotman: and now dpkg.vireo.org/foo goes directly to a factoid and d.v.o/q/foo goes directly to a query
<0> dondelelcaro's nick is irritating because you really don't know how to pronounce it. :/
<3> woohoo!
<0> I mean, he's a great op, but...
<13> thingfish: you don't pronounce it, you just tab complete it
<0> hehe
<0> amen
<7> jilocasin: what type of ext3?
<8> Dwonis: exactly.. ;)
<4> jilocasin: look at the options in "mount" or "/etc/fstab"
<3> !meaning of dondelelcaro
<14> dondelelcaro is a conjuction of don=don del=delphi elcaro=oracle. Figure it out.
<6> abrotman: still gave me an error about "Could not get lock"
<15> when you wnat to connect on webmin .. we go in firefox or other and launch url http://localhost:5000 (for example) ... if i want to create my webmin it's necessary i install all apache,mysql and php package ....?
<0> tsk amazing. who would've ever thought...
<3> the bot?
<0> now that I know, it's somehow anticlimactic.
<6> apt
<7> hmm... so speaking of encryption and stuff... is dondelelcaro a random oracle?
<4> fas3r_: webmin has a webserver in perl built in
<2> [AMSG] Gonna try simply rebooting
<8> gnufan: all it says (mount that is) is type ext3
<4> fas3r_: trust the dependencies - life is simpler that way - even when they are wrong
<6> how can i switch to pts/0 from /2 ? via ssh ?
<7> daeos: huh? why would you want to do that?
<4> jilocasin: srw@derek:~$ mount
<4> /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
<8> gnufan: /dev/hdb1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
<6> Dwonis: lost my connection so my /0 is stuck logged in and trying to configure a package
<4> jilocasin: I think if you have options they would show up... experiment on a less vital filesystem ;)
<15> gnufan, because i have make an interface for configure my firewall and i want to shared it .. it's in php,sh and C ... but i don't think it's a good idea just i copy my /var/www/interface ...
<8> gnufan: that's what mount returns for my / partition. It's pretty much the same for the other ext3 partitions.
<16> daeos: why not just kill it and restart dselect?
<8> gnufan: since I just used the installer default, I thought that someone must have documented it somewhere...
<7> daeos: ah... the best thing to do would be to kill the sshd process that holds that connection and run "dpkg --configure -a" or something
<0> dselect? oh gawd.
<7> eeyore-: dselect... what thingfish said
<6> dselect...
<16> don't be a wuss. dselect is fine :-)
<0> hehe
<6> wth is that?
<8> I've an awful lot to learn about Debian Gnu/Linux.....
<16> how can you dweebian guys not like dselect?
<7> the only thing I like about dselect is its interface... and aptitude has gotten close enough
<0> aptitude all the way, baby!
<17> jilocasin: don't feel bad, many, many people fall into that category
<3> thingfish: wget and dpkg !!
<0> abrotman: hiss
<4> jilocasin: I think you get what you see, rw with ro on errors. We like these OSes that tell us what they are doing, why document it further? When / goes read-only -- that ****s -- trustme on that and hope it never happens -- if RAID array at work <sigh>
<7> jilocasin: data=ordered is the default
<13> can aptitude restore your /var/lib/dpkg/available?
<7> jilocasin: it's in the manpage for mount, I think



<4> jilocasin: s/if/iffy/
<8> Dwonis: thanks that was what I was looking for.
<6> so how would i do that ? >.<
<7> jilocasin: if you want other details, you can run "dumpe2fs -h /dev/hda1" or whatever
<18> Where would I set the seek speed of my cursor.
<19> Hey, does anyone know if there's a way to figure out *why* the update-notifier wants you to reboot?
<16> stew: your /var/lib/dpkg/available goes bad often? :-)
<3> NovaScorpio: the what?
<13> eeyore-: no, its just the one thing i know for sure i would use dselect for
<16> stew: i've had it get screwed up maybe two or three times over the years
<19> update-notifier, it was in the unstable package
<7> stew: I don't know about aptitude, but there's a command... hold on
<11> when installing an hp-laserjet 1200 should i use postscript?
<19> Every once in a while i'll dist-upgrade and it'll pop up in gnome and tell me to reboot
<7> stew: I think this works; apt-cache dumpavail > /var/lib/dpkg/available
<20> what command can I use to see how fast this network drop is ?(I'm on a laptop and think it is 100mbit but want to check)
<4> zethreth: seek speed, this a database cursor, or a screen cursor?
<3> NovaScorpio: nothing in the docs ?
<21> when i tried to install kde using this command - "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ; ISOs: http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/breezy/
<16> FliesLikeALap: samba project has source/sink you can use to test your bandwidth
<8> Thanks alot everyone.... perhaps I'll see you again sometime.
<3> pallav_: wrong channel
<20> eeyore- I don't want to test my bandwidth, I just want to see how fast this network port is
<19> Well, I figured out that it's touching a file in /var/run/ and there *used* to be a place for it in /var/lib/.... but no, I haven't found anything as to describing why the notifier wants you to update.
<18> In Xterm, it seems like it's slower then a snell now.
<20> whether its 10mbit or 100mbit
<7> !tell pallav_ about ubuntu
<19> I guess I'll just ignore it from now on...
<13> Dwonis: aha, now i never need dselect again! :)
<3> NovaScorpio: can't you see what got updated ?
<16> FliesLikeALap: if you want to know the link characteristics, "mii-tools"
<21> i tried asking ppl in ubuntu no one seems to answer the question :(
<22> is it possible to use exim4 to make it work with smtp/pop from gmail?
<7> stew: what do you need the available file for? grep?
<19> abrotman: yeah, but none of that stuff, to me, is something I would think to reboot for.
<20> ah eeyore- and dmesg also has the link speed too
<19> The only times I can remember needing to reboot is for a kernel...
<16> FliesLikeALap: yeah but dmesg could be clobbered by lots of kernel messages :-)
<19> s/times/time/
<3> NovaScorpio: if it's not libc or kernel .. i can't imagine it owuld need a reboot .. and even libc is iffy
<16> FliesLikeALap: if your machine has been up for any length of time, your boot-time dmesg is probably long gone
<23> anyone know any good linux/unix torrent clients??
<19> abrotman: Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I'm just gonna uninstall it, heh
<18> I didn't change any setting but now when I use vim or move around with the arrow keys it's lagging.
<20> yeah eeyore- but if I /just/ plugged an ethernet cable into my laptop, it is easy to spot
<19> abrotman: Thanks anyway :)
<3> NovaScorpio: you're running unstable right ?
<19> Yeah
<16> FliesLikeALap: though you could rmmod the net device and modprobe it back in. most will probably tell you what it connects at
<3> well . i mean .. there will probably be packages every day that can be updated
<4> zethreth: sounds more like performance issue -- you checked what "top" says?
<7> FliesLikeALap: mii-tool eth0
<16> zethreth: turn off syntax highlighting?
<23> any good linux torrent clients out there?
<3> eeyore-: stop editing a 500MB file? :)
<3> avont_: apt-cache search torrent
<16> abrotman: and don't run Xgl?
<20> thanks Dwonis and eeyore- but I already got my answer from dmesg ;)
<11> what group should i add myself to if i want to install and use printers? lp? lpadmin?
<23> whats cache sear torrent?
<16> abrotman: my interactive performance has gone way the heck down with Xgl and compositing effects :-)
<7> avont_: run "apt-cache search torrent". it'll give you a list of packages that have "torrent" in their names or descriptions
<3> eeyore-: stop staring!
<23> i already have some torrent files, i just need a linux torent client to download them
<16> ***xxxxxy
<18> I'm running 512MB with about 133MB loaded and CPU usage is not being used at all. I'm only running some xterms.
<3> avont_: i just told you how
<18> And lynx maybe
<23> ok
<24> does anyone here have a myspace
<16> andy_: you perv. what do you want to do?
<10> andy_ nope, livejournal's more popular here
<24> wat u call me
<17> haha @ eeyore-
